TradeWinds Resort

the Goddess of the Island Grand resort. She has been so impressive with her professionalism, her dedication to achieving guest satisfaction and also creating a relationship that doesn’t feel like everything is all business. She genuinely wants her bride and groom to have their expectations not only met but exceeded. There were some details we were unsure of and she immediately was able to take what we envisioned and turn it into reality.  Hannah Poff and her staff at the Tradewinds Island Grand made wedding planning in 6 months easier than we could have ever imagined. When the day of our wedding finally came Hannah was not only present for us, she was a Queen and she went above and beyond. We forgot our vow books and she made sure we had our vows available for the ceremony on paper last minute. Not just regular paper either! I text her what I needed printed and she brought it to me in under 10 min on gorgeous stock card with a gold embossed border and I’m still trying to figure out how she made that one request seem so effortless yet mean so incredibly much. We even made some last minute changes to our schedule a week before our wedding and thought it might be a bit of a stretch or over ask and Hannah said “bet”.  The Island Grand and Hannah are more than just a venue and a wedding catering manager. They are forever a part of our story. They are part of what made such a monumental day in our life that much better. I could not imagine going back and changing anything about our experience from that first phone call to inquire about the venue to the final goodbye before we left to go home as husband and wife. If you want an all inclusive resort that comes with amazing food, fun adventures and a sunset ceremony that will make you feel like you’re on top of the world while you marry your best friend, father of your children and love of your life then you need to call Hannah Poff immediately because if your experience is anything like ours then you will understand why this review was not only a pleasure to write but your sign that this is exactly where you need to be when you make that commitment. We were under the impression planning a wedding was supposed to be stressful, hard and scary but Hannah was there to help us every step of the way. We had friends and family travel from all over the country and everyone enjoyed all the accommodations and amenities of the resort as well as the activities in the surrounding area. We had our rehearsal, welcome dinner, beach wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and farewell brunch all seamlessly handled by Hannah and her catering captain Paula. It was not just one event so everything going better than we could have ever imagined was nothing short of spectacular. We will be forever grateful to Hannah and the staff at the Tradewinds Island Grand.

edible time at the wedding. Hannah worked tirelessly with us to understand our customs, and important parts of our ceremony. We had countless meetings with her, and she was incredibly patient and kind in answering all of our questions. She is extremely professional, and a huge reason for why we chose Tradewinds to have our wedding. We are so happy with how everything turned out, and would highly recommend the Tradewinds.

friendly, easygoing, and truly went above and beyond to make our events perfect. She was there for every single event, from our welcome bonfire and wedding day, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She made sure we didn’t have to lift a finger, allowing us to fully enjoy our special moments without any stress. Thanks to her, I never had to worry - nothing went wrong, and everything was executed flawlessly. We also used Cherish as our wedding planner, and she was amazing! She was so attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. She set up the wedding room beautifully, handled all the vendors seamlessly, and was always just a text or call away whenever I needed her. Her dedication and attention to detail truly made our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

ding from almost being a disaster when my DJ never showed. She worked so hard to make my day perfect. All of the staff at the tradewinds are so nice and always willing to help. Vio was also a great server and huge help when setting up the ballroom. And the food was amazing everyone loved it!! I couldn’t recommend this place enough for your wedding !

amenities right onsite made it an easy, convenient vacation for all. Our vision for a barefoot, boho, beachy wedding came to life perfectly. The Tradewinds team was easy to work with and did an exceptional job making sure the day went smooth with no stress. The atmosphere and sunsets are perfect. Tradewinds was able to recommend any other vendors we needed to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted for our special day. Thank you to Hannah, Katelyn, and the entire Tradewades team for making our dream wedding a day we will always cherish!
